In a surprising twist of royal family trivia, it turns out that Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, shares her birthday with none other than Meghan Markle.

This delightful revelation came to light during a vacation in 2018, when King Charles discovered this unique connection while enjoying some time away in Scotland.

It was a moment that not only surprised him but also strengthened the bond between him and his son Prince Harry’s wife.

Prince Harry recounts this memorable trip in his memoir, “Spare,” detailing their stay at the Castle of May.

This historic site, once associated with the Queen Mother, served as the backdrop for an unforgettable weekend.

The atmosphere was relaxed as they spent quality time together, and it was during one of their evenings over cocktails that Meghan’s birthday connection with the beloved Gone Gone, as she was affectionately known, was revealed.

Charles’s reaction was one of pure joy.

With a grin spreading across his face, he reminisced about the Queen Mother, recalling fond memories that highlighted the special relationship they shared.

As Fred Astaire’s melodies floated through the air, the evening transformed into a nostalgic storytelling session that brought the past to life.

The Castle of May holds a deep significance for Charles.

Since the passing of his beloved mother in 2002, he has honored her memory by spending the first week of August there each year.

It’s a time for reflection, royal duties, and personal pursuits, all while keeping her spirit alive.

This year, he will continue that tradition by visiting Balmoral after his stay at the Castle of May.

During that enchanting evening, Charles captivated Meghan with tales of Selkies—mythical creatures from Scottish folklore that can transform from seals into humans.

His whimsical storytelling had a fairy tale quality, which he embraced wholeheartedly.

“You never can tell when you see a seal,” he warned her, adding a sprinkle of magic to the night.

Harry humorously noted that Charles insisted on sharing these stories, even as Meghan listened in disbelief.

The prince playfully teased his father, suggesting that such tales seemed straight out of a storybook.

Yet, Charles stood firm, asserting the truth behind his fantastical narratives, making it clear that the magic of Scotland was very real.

As part of their vacation adventures, the Sussexes ventured to a nearby beach, where they were fortunate enough to spot some seals.

Following his father’s advice, Harry rushed to the riverbank and began to serenade the curious creatures.

Meghan joined in, and to their amazement, the seals responded with their own melodic calls.
